Biden is the greatest threat to Biden's front-runner status.

That's not a comment on how gaffe-prone he is. It's just that candidates with that large a lead normally lose them (if at all) to their own mistakes once support levels have solidified to some extent.

So Warren isn't a "threat" to his lead. She's just the one most likely to benefit if/when he stumbles.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
